Coldplay performed at the Vevo iTunes Festival SXSW yesterday for an intimate crowd of fans and unveiled new music from their Ghost Stories album. They opened up the performance with new song 'Always In My Head' before also debuting 'Another's Arms' from the LP in their 11-song set.

"We've been away a long time, and I can't think of a better way to come back into the world [than] in the intimate surroundings of Austin and just a couple of 100 people and the millions watching at home," said frontman Chris Martin during the show, referring to the fact that the gig was streamed on Vevo.

The iTunes performance at SXSW marked the first time they've played current top 10 'Magic' live for a crowd: "That's the first time we've ever played that, and I'm happy it was with you."

The performance schedule for Vevo iTunes Festival at SXSW is as follows:
